Homey just gave you a very good reason to invest in its smart home hardware

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Homey initially planned to support the 2023 version of its Pro smart home hub through 2028.
• Today the company announces that it’s extending that deadline through 2031.
• The 2031 support date will also apply to the newer Homey Pro Mini.

There’s a ticking clock in your smart home, and we don’t just mean the one mounted on the wall, telling you it’s time to get started thinking about lunch. While it used to be that we could install a light switch or an outlet and not have to worry about them for years and years (if not decades), with smart home devices we’ve got to seriously consider the medium-to-long-term impact that software support threatens to have; will the hardware we install today just up and stop working a few years down the line?
